TWO WAYS TO STYLE AN OVERSIZED COAT (SPLIT AND MOSTAR)

Today I finally managed to get to my computer and transfer all outfit photographs here, so this other set of photographs should be of better quality. Right now I'm really happy about finding the perfect oversized coat for me. When it first arrived, I thought that maybe I should have ordered a size smaller (that is L instead of XL) but now I'm happy I ordered this size because now I feel like this is it. This is the oversize coat I wanted. What do you think about this cut? Do you have an oversized coat? Do you plan to buy one? I wanted to get one forever, but if I wasn't sure will it work with my curvy figure. Well, sometimes we've got to break the rules. If we don't  gamble, we can never really have fun with fashion. Life is too short to wear boring clothes. 


Danas sam se konačno dočepala svog računala i prebaciti fotografije, pa bi ovaj drugi dio fotografija trebao biti bolje kvalitete. Trenutno sam jako sretna što sam uspjela pronaći odgovarajući kaput širokog kroja za mene. Kada je tek stigao, mislila sam se jesam li možda trebala naručiti manju veličinu (to jest L umjesto XL) ali sada sam sretna što sam naručila ovu veličinu jer mi se čini da je to kako treba biti i da je ovo taj kaput širokog kroja koji sam tražila. Sviđa li se vama ovaj kroj? Imate li takav kaput? Planirate li kupiti takav kaput? Ja sam ga već dugo htjela nabaviti, ali nisam bila sigurna kako će mi stajati s obzirom na obliju figuru. Nekad se isplati malo kršiti pravila i probati nešto drukčije. Moramo se malo kockati, inače se nikada i nećemo zabaviti s modom. Život je prekratak za dosadnu odjeću.

    Great coat! Oversized is especially good for cold weather because you can fold them around almost like a little blanket. And I like the roominess because they coat seems warmer with the air space inside, if that makes sense!
    Great photos, especially just as the sun is going down - I love the light.

Što se tiče oversized kaputa, u te srhe koristim zapravo kaput mog muža koji je njemu tesan a meni baš dođe taman kada želim nešto šire :)

Nekako sam ga uklopila u garderobu i drago mi je što je tako.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
